Pacific Puddle Jump Bond Exemptions

December 16, 2013

We're happy to tell you that a TahitIan yacht agency (Tahiti Crew Company) is offering registered Puddle Jumpers a special package that includes clearance in and out of French Polynesia, the ability to purchase duty-free fuel beginning in the Marquesas, and repatriation bond exemptions for crew. (Without this, all non-EU citizens would have to deposit in a Tahitian bank the cash equivalent of an air ticket to their home country. Such deposits are refundable in FP currency the day you clear out. Again, EU citizens do not need bond exemptions.)

At current exchange rates, the package, including taxes, is: $244 for 2 crew; $288 for 4 crew. This package is offered as a convenience. You are under no obligation to purchase this package of services.

Shortly after you register (note: registration closed on June 15, 2014), a package of related documents will be emailed to you, after which you will correspond directly with the agents in Papeete.

Please note: Latitude 38 simply facilitates the bond exemption deal. We are NOT in partnership with the Tahitian agency, and we make NO money from our efforts to facilitate this service.
